Its 2 am and im crying over a childhood friends dad who died when I was 13 or 14 so thats how my nights going
#like. man. he was a good guy#the last time he ever spoke to me was when i was becoming friends with a major bully#who was actively bullying his kid and was goading me into joining her#and like i said some awful shit to kam#but their dad was so fucking nice and patient with me about it and like sat me down and told me he didnt think being friends#with her was good for me and that he understood it was maybe a confusing time for me (about to start middle school) and#i was just trying to look for acceptance where i could find it. and i really hurt his kid so he wouldve been totally justified in like#yelling at me or telling my parents i was being an ass and it wouldve been totally fucking justified#and i didnt listen to him#and kam and i made up after lindee moved a couple years later but we were never close again obviously#and then they got evicted when their dad lost his job and moved and then a few months to a year later he died in a motorcycle#accident on his birthday#and i wouldve liked to be there for them after that. but i was still kind of...ashamed that i didnt listen to his advice so i didnt#push my dad to reach out to their mom or anything (theyre still facebook friends)#idk#it just kinda suddenly hit me that hes dead even tho its been over a decade#you were a real one gary#listening to you wouldve saved both me and kam a lot of grief#hope kam is living their best life
